    New mobo, psu, cpu, and ram.. final check! :)

    Hm I wish I had realized the dual slot coolers expel air out the back before I bought the first ZOTAC. Now I'm sort of stuck getting a second ZOTAC and figuring out some way to get the extra heat out. Maybe I can put a PCI slot fan in front of the fan on both cards, and then I should still have...

    New mobo, psu, cpu, and ram.. final check! :)

    Oops, sorry. I have one of those big copper, blue-led Zalman's on there. I can't remember the model number but it was well reviewed. I'm not really worried about saving any more $ on the RAM.. 80 bucks for 4 gigs is killer and I'm a fan of the Corsair XMS series. And wow I had assumed 620w...

    New mobo, psu, cpu, and ram.. final check! :)

    I've already got one Zotac 512mb 8800GT AMP and will get a second when I build the new system. I'm going to keep my old case (AeroCool Spiral Galaxies), hard drive (WD2500KS), disk drive (NEC ND-3550A), but will be replacing the PSU, CPU, RAM, mobo, and selling the old stuff to my brother...

    As I said, I can't login, can I do this from BIOS or something?

    Keyboard does not respond at login screen

    I used the Restore function from V-COM's Fix-It Utilities 6 bootable CD to restore my comp and now whenever Windows boots to the log in screen, the keyboard stops responding. Its a USB keyboard. I can press DEL or F8 during boot to enter BIOS or the OS Boot choice menu, but oncew Windows...

    Did a fresh install of WinXP tonight, but USB 2.0 is not working?

    The mobo CD just gives a readme that says to use Windows Update, but my computer isn't passing the Geniune Software Advantage test thing, so I cant use update. Is there another way to find the drivers to make usb 2.0 work? Also, without having any of the SPs streamlined onto the disc, and me not...

    Did a fresh install of WinXP tonight, but USB 2.0 is not working?

    Yes, I have installed both. I got SP1 from download.com and did that before I did SP2, which I got from the Networker's whatever download from microsoft.com

    Did a fresh install of WinXP tonight, but USB 2.0 is not working?

    I figured out the hard drive issue. It was because the install disc I have doesn't have even SP1 streamlined so I can only format up to 127gigs. I made another with the rest of the space. Now, my last problem is that my USB 2.0 isn't working. The mobo CD just gives a readme that says to use...

    Should I make the new partition a Primary or Extended partition?

    Did a fresh install of WinXP tonight, but USB 2.0 is not working?

    WOW that is extremeley complicated. I looked at the disk manager and found about 107 gigs of unpartitioned space on the HD. I have 127 gigs of formatted space, not 137. Is there a free program to combine my existing C:/ drive with this space? If not, should I just use the Disk Manager to create...

    Did a fresh install of WinXP tonight, but USB 2.0 is not working?

    It seems it doesn't have SP1 on it. How do I "slipstream" it onto the disk? Also, is there any free programs that will repartition the disk? Partition Magic was $70 from the quick google I did.

    Did a fresh install of WinXP tonight, but USB 2.0 is not working?

    EDIT: See bottom post I reinstalled XP tonight and had just finished installing all the drivers for the mobo and graphics card so I ran Windows Update, but I didn't pass the Genuine Advantage thing (wtf?) but no biggy, automatic updates still seem to be working fine. I downloaded Firefox asap...
